-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who 

 courageously step forwards 

 for the sake of kosen-rufu 

 have "the vitality of life," 

 "the heartbeat of hope" 

 and "the pulse of joy."
Now, together, let's advance 

on this great path of Soka!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"One cannot be sure that one will live until tomorrow. However wretched a beggar you might become, never disgrace the Lotus Sutra. Since it will be the same in any event, do not betray grief. Just as you have written in your letter, you must act and speak without the least servility. If you try to curry favour, the situation will only worsen."

(A Warning against 

   Begrudging One's Fief 

- WND, Vol. 1, page 824)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"Let us do gongyo each day with the spirit that we are making fresh determinations in the Hall of the Great Vow for Kosen-rufu. Let us chant for the happiness of all our district members and the happiness of all humanity and pray to realize peace and prosperity in our communities through spreading the life-affirming principles of Nichiren Buddhism."

October 2023 Editorial of the Daibyaku-renge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study publication, translation released September 15th, 2023
